Still here

Can't sleep tonight so thought I'd take the time to get caught up.

NYPinTA has given me a new obsession. Well, not really an obsession...an interest? That's taking up more of my time than it should? And I'm spending money on it...? Okay. Maybe it is an obsession. I'm talking about Sookie Stackhouse. The books are like a big plate of brownies. You sit down and think you'll read just one and then boom - you've devoured the whole plate and didn't realize it. I'm working on book seven. I'll get back to you when I've read more.

I'm writing book reviews for Fictionaddict.com. It's really cool and I'm having a ball doing it. I've gotten some awesome books and the opportunity to do some interviews as well. (Nicholas Sparks. Who ever would have imagined that eh?)

I've also sold a screenplay. Or mostly sold it. Contracts are currently pending. I've signed and returned mine. Just waiting for everyone else to join the party. They have 365 days to make the film before rights revert back to me. From what I've heard, they're ready to start filming in like a month - so I have a lot of hope that this will happen. Still, it's a million bajillion contracts yet before anything further can happen and I know how this business runs. I'm really jazzed about this one because I'll be on set for the filming and they've said they want to hire me for the marketing too. It's a bigger budget than I'd hoped and I'm really *fingers crossed* that we get some excellent names on board. I'll keep you guys informed on that one.

And that's about it. What's happening in internetyland for everyone out there? Fill me in!

Holy Carp!!! You snuck in and posted! How dare you...

I warned you about that damn PinTA and her Sookie books, so it's your own fault! No whinin' now... ;P

Great news on the screenplay! You gonna need a date for the Oscars? :ewink:

Yes and you missed it! Imagine that! LOL!

Here's hoping I need a date for the Oscars!

Yes - She's hooked me darnit. I'll be reviewing them for Fictionaddict.com. At least that way I can justify the addiction....

How's your life?

LL said...

My life? You don't have enough time to read about my life... :P

Ok, ok... same ol', same ol'. You know, get up, watch the snow fall, ignore the ol' blog. The usual. ;)

Twichie said...

Yup. Doesn't seem the same without the straight dope these days. Know where everyone is? I've seen several of them on Facebook. (Funny - SFSD going away created a mass exodus to some huge networking site...LOL)

I keep up with PinTA on Twitter...

Anyone else?

LL said...

You still talk to PinTA? For the love of all that's good in the world... WHY?!?!?!? ;)

I dunno Twichie. If you facebook, you probably know more about everyone than I would. I just get to see a few of the old crew over at the Bib. But you couldn't sign up over there I guess. Who would you like to know about though? Red, Jul, WG??? We might just be able to get the word out... :P

You have a fantastic sense of humor - you know that?! LOL!
